Big surge in XRP today
I have similar holdings in XRP as I do in a stocks and shares isa and the XRP since December has performed eight fold better so far

lol is that what the XRP army is peddling these days? dont think Trump has ever mentioned XRP and Musk more likely to embed own chain into Twitter than be supporting someone elses platform. it's just another chain competing with a dozen others now.

Nope... Trump has never heard of Ripple or XRP, and Elon Musk has no idea what XRP even means.

Take off the blinkers fella. The XRPL is going to be one of the biggest blockchains in the world, and it uses XRP. Before you (may) say "you don't need XRP on the XRP ledger" please tell me what the gas fees are paid in... Hint : it's not shirt buttons.

going to be the biggest? why isn't already with all the time it's had?
it'll do just fine in the coming months, just remember to sell.

XRP is where it’s up, it’s pumping nicely but wait until Trump’s in place and the settlement of the SEC case …. This coin is flying and so well placed to service Ripple.

Went 300% up on XRP today, took a little out for the inevitable dip. Playing with free money now :ascarf:
Me too …. 3,000 but wish I had more.

No blockchain is at full scale yet. Regulations and laws need finalising, then it's game on.

And no, I won't be selling. I'll be placing mine into institutional custody to earn a yield, and I'll be borrowing against it - which is tax free. :thumbsup:
The “game on” appears to be XRP which is Bitcoin but with the inadequacy engineered out

ETH spike? ???
Was reading that ETH will surge when, or possibly if, the XRP appeal is quashed. I guess everyone’ saying all sorts and supporting their own corner?

Evening nsc sages. I'm thinking about investing in "bitcoin" for the first time. Any advice or suggested resources for a newbie?!
Best piece of advice, only invest what you can afford to lose, there’s lots of hype and its still a high risk area.

Read up on XRP at the moment but there’s loads of other coins people support.

Sure ETH will surge, but at best you will get a 3x return. There are tons of better options to make money IMO
Solana? What others do you think? What's your opinion on XRP?

Sold a bit of my XRP today to buy a new MacBook Pro and Apple Watch. Everything that’s left is pure profit so I'll let it ride for a while without any anxiety. If it dips again I’ll buy more.

I see trump has released a new meme coin which seems to have hit the other meme coins especially the MAGA meme. Those things are simply gambling right? I wonder if he will do what the hawk tuh girl did and just take profit and leave.

It has a fully diluted market cap of £21B, and the Trump team 'own' 80%, which is ~3x Trump's current net worth o_O

Grifters gonna grift.

Quant is dragging its heels at the moment, and it's going to be a massive player in the new financial / blockchain system.

Bought some a while ago at £58 and sold at £84. Just bought 350 of them and I'll wait for the great gods of crypto to poke with a sharp stick and wake it up.... ???

XRP, XLM, XDC, HBAR, QUANT

They'd be my own top five. I own three of them and I'm keeping my powder dry for the other two if there's a good entry point.

Happy where I am though. I bought 95% of mine well before this current jump when prices were in the doldrums. When everyone was bearish, I bought as much as I could.
